Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen-rich blood to skeletal muscle during sustained physical activity

Integrated Cardiorespiratory Training

Way of training programs that systematically progress clients through various stages to achieve optimal levels of physiological, physical, and performance adaptations by placing stress of the cardiorespiratory system.

General Warmup

Consists of movements that do not necessarily have any movements specific to the actual activity to be performed

Ex: Walking/Treadmill/Stationary-bike

Specific Warmup

Consists of movements that more closely mimic those of the actual activity, often referred to as dynamic stretches.

How long does a typical warmup period last?

Between 5-10 minutes

What are the benefits/effects of a warmup?

Increased heart and respiratory rate

Increased tissue temperature

Increased physiological preparation for bouts of exercise

what does F.I.T.T.E. stand for?

Frequency

Intensity

Type

Time

Enjoyment

Frequency

The number of training session in a given time frame

Intensity

The level of demand that a given activity places on the body

Maximal Oxygen Consumption
()

The highest rate of oxygen transport and utilization achieved at maximal physical exertion

Oxygen Uptake Reserve
()

The difference between resting and maximal or peak oxygen consumption

Ventilatory Threshold

The point during graded exercise in which ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake, signifying a switch from predominately aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production
